It depends heavily on the type of map. The splitter does not know
anything about your mkgmap style, e.g. which types of ways and nodes you
do include in your map and which you don't. Other mkgmap features like
the new POI-for-roads feature need space as well if you use them.

I have successfully created maps from OSM data with
"--max-nodes=1000000" and overlay maps with contour lines only from SRTM
data with "--max-nodes=5000000".
